CULVER CITY, Calif., Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "Dieting," conjures feelings of discomfort, no matter which methodology is chosen to lose weight. Based on a fat-to-fit story of an obese boy who lost 19% body fat in 6 months by only adding the right things to his diet, MacroLife Natural's greens dietary supplement, naturally encourages fat shedding without dieting. When many are shocking their bodies into starvation after holiday indulgences, the MacroLife "Anti-Diet" can be used to shed body fat and is 100% natural.

"Most foods create an acidic pH state in the body," says Dr. Ed Wagner "when the body is alkaline, it does not crave foods that fatten the body. Limiting food is negative," he adds. "Adding nutrient dense food to your diet is positive and kick starts the body back to its lean state."

Founder of MacroLife Naturals, Sylvia Ortiz, has dedicated her life to developing pH balanced dietary supplements; her Macro Greens® surpasses 5 servings of alkalizing vegetables / fruits. "The boy who lost that weight was my son, and now a business partner." When we added Macro Greens® to his diet three times a day, his body got all the nutrients needed and he stopped craving the foods that were adding fat. My 'Anti-Diet' is about adding to your life, a resolution bound to result in success."
